 The
Cosmopolitan Golf Annexe at Saidapet has a par
72,18 hole course. Spread over an area of 75
acres, a variety of trees run along the fairways
which are tight for the first nine holes but
open out for the back nine.
The well laid cosmopolitan course has been
redesigned by Peter Thompson with a liberal
use of lateral water hazards. The first hole
is a 371 yards, par 4, dog leg around a water
tank. It's best to use a three iron to place
the ball at the elbow, which will give you an
easy approach shot. Like most of the greens
on the course, the first is also thick and slow,
and requires firm and sure putts.
The fifth hole is a test even for the seasoned
golfer. A 432 yard, par four, it has the tightest
fairway, with a thick row of trees running along
on the left and an out-of-bounds fence to the
right. The first drive has to be lofted well
over the trees to fade into the fairway.
Our golf tour package for South India includes

along with golf rounds at Karnataka
